I wrote some code using java 1.4.2 on a linux machine and it works fine .

Now I am using the same code using JDK 1.5 on a slorais machine.And it is raising following exception

javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError: Provider org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl not found


Does any one have any idea?

 

 

Set the TransformerFactory system property.

System.setProperty(javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl);

 

 

System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory", "org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl");

 

 

with JDK 5.0 final you have to set the property as follows:

System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory", "com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl");

The class is located in the rt.jar file. The package name of the class was changed (according to this source: http://java.sun.com/webservices/whatsnew.html)

Why is this property not set automatically with JDK 5.0? Could anybody confirm this, please?

 

 

Hi

I've got the same problem with jdk 1.5 and tomcat 5.0 and I've found the problem

in tomcat java is called with the following argument:
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="X:\my_app\Portal\tomcat\common\endorsed"

In this directory you find two jar files: xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar needed by tomcat and that must be loaded before all xmsl stuff present in the jdk (1.4 naming problem). And in the file xml-apis.jar the TransformerFactoryImpl is set to "org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl".

The solution: remove the file xml-apis.jar from the directory.

For other application, just check this file or dom3-xml-apis.jar in your class path

 

 

I was getting the same exception/error when I tried to run my web application in Tomcat 5.0.x with JDK 1.5.

JDK 1.5 doesn't have xalan libraries and hence it throws this exception.

Copy the xalan.jar and serializer.jar, xercesImpl.jar, xml-apis.jar (this are needed as there are dependencies from xalan.jar) into the tomcat_home/common/endorsed folder.

If some of the jars are already present, there is no need to overwrite the files.

You can get the required files from the following website:
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/

 

 

Hi christoph76,
Thanks, your solution worked fine for me:
System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory", "com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl");

Hi bvbhavsar
your solution worked for me - thanks so much

 

 

christoph76's solutions works for me under JDK5.0 and tomcat5.0.

Thanks.

 

 

This problem occurs with tomcat 5.0.28, but not with tomcat 5.5.23.

 

 

This Exception occur with JDK1.5.0_11 and tomcat 5.5.23 in mine,
I do not find the xalan.jar in comcat path :common\endorsed also.

thanks

 

 

Hi bvbhavsar

Thanks for posting this. Worked a treat.

 

 

By removing xml-apis.jar file from the following directory, helped resolve the issue.

CATALINA_HOME\common\endorsed


Any better solution for this problem?

 

 

Is there a properties file where this can be set? For example, jaxp.properties?

 

 

Such a small change fixes lot many things, Thanks alot again!!
I had to download xalan-j_2_7_0-bin-2jars though I already downloaded xalan-j_2_7_0-bin, because it contained serializer.jar file which was also to be copied to CATALINA_HOME\common\endorsed .

Then I execute the index.html that came along with Struts2 blank.war on the server and voila ! I had Struts 2 configured and working in Eclipse 3.2.1 with Apache Tomcat 5.5.

Thanks again !
